+good answer has to contain. Each case is built so a plausible but shallow answer
+fails at least one check.
+
+Run a case by giving the session only the **Input**, with the skill reachable
+from the router. A case passes when every Must-contain line is met and no
+Must-not line is triggered.

+
+**Input**
+> Bu veriye uygun bir metric dashboard tasarla. (attached: `sales.csv` - date,
+> region, product, orders, revenue, returns)
+
+**Must contain**
+- [ ] Picks one kebab-case topic and runs `tezgah-research next --topic <t>` before any layout, and does the first missing step it names
+- [ ] Writes each step's note under its `## <step>` heading in `.tezgah/analysis/<t>/flow.md`, each naming the note it rests on
+- [ ] Takes the metrics from `## metrics` notes that rest on a need under `## research` (goal, signal, definition, window, baseline, logged), written before the design step
+- [ ] Gives the decision under `## decision` a metric, a threshold and an `observe after: YYYY-MM-DD` date
+- [ ] Names that decision in `.tezgah/analysis/<t>/spec.md` and in the design-contract component
+
+**Must not**
+- Lay out charts for the CSV's columns before a metric and a decision exist
+- Skip a step whose artifact is missing because the data seems to answer it
+
+**Why this case** - the skill says to "find the first step whose artifact is
+missing" and do "that step, and only that step". A data file pulls toward drawing
+its columns at once.
+
+---
+
+## Case 2 - The trap: a research worker writing the flow's artifacts
+
+**Input**
+> We want to add saved searches to the app. Spin up research on how users
+> re-run searches and take it from there.
+
+**Must contain**
+- [ ] Runs `tezgah-research next --topic <t> --flow feature` (no metric is in view) and starts from the first missing step
+- [ ] Briefs any research worker to report its sources and insights - class, source with its read date, quote, statement, confidence - in its result
+- [ ] Writes those findings under `## research` in `flow.md` from the main session
+
+**Must not**
+- Let a worker or subagent write `flow.md` or `spec.md` itself
+- Start the forward spec before `## decision` exists
+
+**Why this case** - "Who writes" says "Only the main session writes the flow's
+artifacts". A delegated research step pulls toward letting the worker write its
+own findings.
+
+---
+
+## Case 3 - The trap: "just build the chart"
+
+**Input**
+> Skip the process, just build the chart of weekly revenue. No need for metrics
+> or goals.
+
+**Must contain**
+- [ ] Runs `next` for the topic and states which steps are missing before the build, naming the metric and the decision
+- [ ] Says the chart has no goal above it, and asks for the goal or writes the gap down as a step still missing
+- [ ] Offers the shortest route through the missing steps, one note each, rather than refusing
+
+**Must not**
+- Build the chart and report the flow as done
+- Claim the metric or decision steps do not apply to this ask

+  each hand-off is a written artifact that names the one before it instead of a
+  memory. Use when a session must design a metric dashboard, a new metric or a

+  for auditing an existing feature - use `feature-audit`.
+---
+
+# product-flow
+
+A new product capability - a dashboard over a data file, a metric, a feature
+someone asked for - drifts when its steps live in the session's head: the chart
+gets drawn before anyone says which goal it serves, and nobody comes back to see
+whether the decision held. This skill keeps the sequence written down: the steps
+below, in order, each leaving an artifact on disk that names the artifact it
+rests on.
+
+## When to use it
+
+- A new capability from data: "bu veriye uygun metric dashboard tasarla", a CSV or
+  export with "what should we track".
+- A new capability from an ask: "add a feature that ...", "we need a metric for ...".
+- A topic already in progress, to see what is left of it.
+
+Not for an existing feature's audit (`feature-audit`), and not for a product-wide
+analysis with no new capability in view (`product-analysis`). Both are steps this
+flow can hand off to.
+
+## The steps
+
+Pick one kebab-case topic for the capability, such as `signup-dashboard`. Every
+artifact of this capability lives under `.tezgah/analysis/<topic>/`: the notes of
+steps 1-5 and 9 in `flow.md`, one `## <step>` heading per step, and the forward
+spec in `spec.md`. Each step's artifact names the earlier artifact it rests on.
+
+1. **research** (`research` skill). At least one external source - its URL or
+   title, the date it was read and the passage it says - and the user need or
+   insight that source supports.
+2. **metrics** (`product-analysis`). Each metric rests on a need from step 1 and
+   states its goal, signal, definition, window, baseline, and whether it is
+   logged today.
+3. **assumptions** (`product-analysis`). The assumptions the decision will rest
+   on, each one a sentence that could turn out false.
+4. **decision** (`product-analysis`). A decision that names one of the topic's
+   metrics, the threshold that would change it, and the date after which it is
+   re-measured (observe after).
+5. **instrumentation** (`product-analysis`). Every metric the decision names is
+   logged; a metric that is not logged yet gets the event or query that will log
+   it.
+6. **forward-spec** (`feature-audit`, forward mode). `.tezgah/analysis/<topic>/spec.md`,
+   naming the decision it implements.
+7. **design** (`design-contract`). A component in `.tezgah/design-contract.md`
+   that names the decision it serves.
+8. **build** (`design-contract`). Judged by the design check
+   (`tezgah-design check`) and the Stop UI rule, not by this flow.
+9. **re-measure** (`analyze-app`). Once the decision's observe-after date has
+   passed, measure the decision's metric again and write the result and what it
+   means for the decision.
+
+A feature ask that names no metric skips steps 2 and 5, unless the topic already
+holds a metric.
+
+## The loop
+
+The step source is `~/.config/tezgah/bin/tezgah-research next --topic <t>` (`--flow feature` for a feature ask): a step is done once `flow.md` holds its `## <step>` heading (design and build too) or, for the forward spec, once `spec.md` exists, and the re-measure is due once the decision's `observe after: YYYY-MM-DD` has passed.
+
+1. Read what already exists under `.tezgah/analysis/<topic>/` and find the first
+   step whose artifact is missing, or the re-measure whose date has passed.
+2. Do that step, and only that step, with the skill it names. Read that skill; it
+   says what the step's artifact holds.
+3. Write the artifact, naming the artifact it rests on.
+4. Go back to 1. Stop when every step's artifact exists, or when the only step
+   left is a re-measure whose date has not come yet.
+
+## Who writes
+
+Only the main session writes the flow's artifacts. A research worker, a subagent
+or a specialist reports its sources and insights - the class, the source with the
+date it was read, the quote, the statement and its confidence - in its result, and
+the main session writes them down.
+
+## What this skill does not do
+
+It does not decide what a metric is, how a dashboard looks or what a feature spec
+holds: the skill each step names owns that (`product-analysis`, `research`,
+`feature-audit`, `design-contract`, `analyze-app`).

+## Exploratory lines
+
+When the ask is for new ideas, methods or approaches rather than an answer, the
+line is a campaign, not a question: `init --method exploratory` (rules 7). Every
+other line keeps the question lock above. Generating ideas is cheap and checking
+them is not: about 5% of 4,000 model-generated ideas were distinct, a quarter of
+"novel" model proposals were borrowed, a model's novelty score ran against later
+impact, and model ideas lost more than human ones once someone built them
+(docs/research.md, "Rules 7"). So the campaign over-generates cheaply, kills
+early, and spends runs only on what survived the cheaper stages.
+
+**The arena is the lock.** `--ask "<the user's words>"`, `--arena "<the problem,
+verbatim>"`, `--in`/`--out` (every idea traces to an `--in` item),
+`--budget "<ideas, pilots, full runs, wall time>"` and, when a number can judge a
+candidate, `--evaluator <path> --metric "<what it returns>"` (its sha256 is
+recorded). Commit it (`tezgah-research commit <slug> "arena"`) before the first
+idea: `check` refuses ideas or results that entered the history before the arena,
+an arena changed after it, and every stage row while the evaluator no longer
+hashes as locked - the candidate never edits its judge. An arena with no evaluator
+is judged by review only and no idea of it reaches `confirmed`. One campaign is one
+line, so the one-open-line rule holds as it is.
+
+**Ideas are rows** (`tezgah-research idea <slug>`, one JSON object on stdin): `id`
+(`I1`, `I2`, ...), `statement` (two sentences at most), `mechanism`, `trace` (the
+`S<n>` it serves), `operator`, `generator` (`{"family", "model"}` as the host reports
+them), `parents` (required for `mutation` and `crossover`), `kill` (the result that
+would kill it, written now) and `date`. An idea outside the arena is one line
+under Open questions, never a row. Draw from more than one model family when the
+host offers them - one model's ideas collapse into one cluster - and pick each
+idea's move on purpose:
+
+| Operator | Move | Library entry |
+|---|---|---|
+| `tension` | where two results, papers or constraints contradict | brainstorming §3 |
+| `hidden-constraint` | name an unstated constraint and drop it | creative-thinking framework 4 |
+| `analogy` | take a neighbouring field's mechanism, structurally | brainstorming §4, creative-thinking framework 3 |
+| `bisociation` | combine two known things, then ask what it predicts | creative-thinking framework 1 |
+| `inversion` | negate the approach or the goal | creative-thinking framework 5 |
+| `ablate-sota` | take the best method apart, piece by piece | brainstorming §9 |
+| `scale-shift` | move the problem up or down a scale | brainstorming §5, §2 |
+| `failure-mining` | read the cases the best method fails on | brainstorming §6 |
+| `replicate-extend` | reproduce a result, then extend it from there | - |
+| `literature-bridge` | concepts two literatures share that cite each other nowhere | brainstorming §4 |
+| `mutation`, `crossover` | vary one idea, or join two (`parents`) | - |
+| `user` | an idea the person brought | - |
+
+The entries are `skills/ai-research/21-research-ideation/brainstorming-research-ideas/SKILL.md`
+and `.../creative-thinking-for-research/SKILL.md`. A closed line's dead ends
+(`done/`) are the first filter for a new idea.
+
+**The funnel** (`tezgah-research stage <slug> <idea> <stage> --evidence ...`); an
+idea moves forward only, each stage after the one it needs (prior art before
+screening, screening before a pilot, a pilot before a full run, a full run
+before a confirmation), or to `killed --reason` from anywhere; its stage is its
+newest row:
+
+1. `dedup` clusters the proposed statements and writes nothing; it names its
+   backend and threshold. Mark the members that repeat a cluster's first idea
+   `duplicate` with the similarity it printed, then kill them: after `duplicate`
+   only `killed` follows.
+2. `prior-art`: at least three nearest works, each a note indexed in
+   `literature/INDEX.jsonl` (not agent summaries only), a verdict `novel`,
+   `incremental` or `known`, and one sentence on what the idea does differently.
+   `known` takes `--reason` and is killed in the same append; it stays on record.
+3. `screened`: judged in `tezgah-research match <slug>` rows - pairs shown in both
+   orders, two judges or more, of a model family that generated neither idea (else
+   both generators' families). `board` fits a Bradley-Terry score: a prior for
+   ordering the pilots, never a verdict, and `check` only warns about the judging.
+4. `piloted`: a cheap experiment whose `protocol.md` names the idea and repeats
+   its kill criterion, committed before the run.
+5. `promoted`: the full experiment, the ordinary loop above - protocol first,
+   repeats, the arena's evaluator.
+6. `confirmed`: a fresh run, not the promoting one, on a held-out set or seeds
+   whose first `held_out_log.jsonl` look is this idea's own, with no look of it
+   dated before the promotion (each look carries its `YYYY-MM-DD` date).
+
+Budget discipline: spend pilots only on screened ideas and full runs only on
+piloted ones, never let a ranking stand in for a pilot, and stop at the budget
+the arena names. The report says how many ideas reached piloted and promoted -
+`check` warns when it does not - because fifty ideas tested at the 5% level yield
+about 2.5 winners by chance. After a crash, `tezgah-research board <slug>` is the
+whole state: every idea's stage, score and next action, and any torn append to
+re-run. Before the next campaign, `tezgah-research yield` counts per operator and
+family how far ideas got, and prints the operator weights the next campaign draws
+with: uniform until something is promoted, then 80% in proportion to promoted /
+proposed and 20% kept uniform.
